CVE-2013-1841
Net-Server, when the reverse-lookups option is enabled, does not check if the hostname resolves to the source IP address, which might allow remote attackers to bypass ACL restrictions via the hostname parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.93%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
